Primrose Crocosmia Orange Pekoe Montbretia 9Cm Pot Perennial Plant from B&Q

Primrose

Resist removing the faded foliage in autumn and cover the crown of the plant with bracken or bark chips to protect the plant against frost damage. Lift and divide congested colonies in spring, planting the divided sections 8-10cm (3-4in) deep. Pots and Packaging Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery. Preparation The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage. Plant on Arrival Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: July to September Hardiness: frost hardy (needs winter protection in cold areas)A fiery mix of yellow, orange and red. The flaring trumpet-shaped flowers of this new montbretia are a lush mix of yellow and orange, with a reddish flush to the outer edges of the petals. They appear in profusion (particularly if grown in a sunny spot) over several months from midsummer, and they will give borders and pots a bold blast of colour. It's a strong grower and the flowers can be cut and added to the vase.
